Waves in diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions
1. The difference between electromagnetic and sound waves. The difference between sound waves and electromagnetic waves in basically caused by their nature. Sound waves can be formed by the any sources that oscillates in elastic environment ( the frequency of the sound waves lies in the range between 20 Hz and 20000 Hz) , while electromagnetic can be only formed by oscillating electric charges. As it’s known from physics alternating electric field ( a kind of matter that exists around electric charges) also creates a magnetic field that also acquires to be alternating. So if to stimulate with a help of oscillating electric charges alternating electromagnetic field, then in the surrounding space appears the order of mutual transformations of electric and magnetic fields, spreading form a point to point. This will be a periodical process in space and time and it’ll be considered to be a wave, an electromagnetic wave. 2. Electromagnetic spectrum and its members.Common properties of electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves can be grouped by their wavelengths or their frequencies (as one is inverse of another). The complete range of electromagnetic waves is called the electromagnetic spectrum. Basically electromagnetic wavers are divided into radiowaves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays and Y-rays(gamma rays). Frequency Wavelength The spreading of the electromagnetic waves is also accompanied with transferring of energy and impulse. Ultrasound. Ultrasound are elastic waves with a frequency Hz . High frequency and short wavelength give the opportunity of directed spreading of ultrasound waves as well generation of high mechanical energies with a help of powerful ultrasound waves that has got a wide spreading in modern technology and medicine. Ultrasoundeffect was discovered in 1880 by Curie brothers. They discovered that if to cause a pressure on the crystal of quartz, then on it’s sides there’ll appear electric charges. Now this property called piezoelectric effect is widely used in order to discover ultrasound. By shrinking and expanding the crystal generates alternating current, and vise verse if connect a crystal with the source of alternating current , it will generate ultrasound waves. Modern ultrasound generators are based on this technique. Ultrasound had found a great spreading and usage in modern medicine both in diagnostics and treatment. Diagnostics and ultrasound. Ultrasound is used in the diagnostics of the following medical related issues: obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology and cancer detection. Themain advantage of ultrasound vs. Using x-rays that it doesn’t has dangerous radition and is done faster then X-rays examination. Here are the areas of using ultrasound in medicine: Obstetrics and Gynecology : Fetus size measuring, in order to determine due date Determination of the fetus position Checking planceta’s position in order to see if there any abnormal deflexions Determining the fetuses nuber in the uterus Gender checking of the fetus Checking the baby’ss growth rate, but periodical examinations Checking if tthere are any life-threatening issues caused by pregnancy Detecting the aount of amniotic fluid that curshes the fetus Checking for tumors of the ovary and breast Cardiology : Checking the inside of the heart to determine if there any abnormal structures or functions Determining and measuring blood flow through the heart and main blood vessels Urology: determining blood flow through the kidneis checking for kidney stones checking for early cases of prostata cancer Ultrasound machine with various transducer probes An ultrasound machine that is used for diagnostics consists of the (netent live blackjack): transducer probe – probe used for sending and receiving of the sound waves central processing unit (CPU) -a computer that does needed calculations and makes the visible image of the subject of examination, connects to transducer trube and has power supplies, transducer pulse controls – controls the frequency and amplitude of waves used for diagnostics display – displays the image from the ultrasound data modeled and calculated by the CPU keyboard/cursor – for inputting data and managing the process related to using the CPU disk storage device (hard, floppy, CD) – stores got images and images related data printer – used for printing images from the monitor. The function sof the major parts are quite clear so it’s important to identify the functions only of the transducer tube, which is the essential part of ultrasound machine.It’s functions are to make and recieve echoes.By the waves used the whole process of CPU and transducer tube allows to determine the fields of view of the examination subject,it’s shape, to determine how deep the sound waves penetrate and the resolution of the image. The transducer tube generates the waves, which are reflceted form the subject of the examination, then by comparing the waves sent and recieved the CPU models the image of the examuination subject which is then displayed on the monitor. Ultrasound therapy The regimes of ultrasound energy can be both continious and impulsive. In the regime of conttinuity ultrasound stream is directed on the body’s tissues. In impulsive regime the sending of energy is changing with pauses, with different tim eof both. Ultrasound is making mechanical, physical, chemical and weak heat influence. Mechanical influence is stipulated by alternating acustic pressure, that causes microvibration and a unique kind of micromasage to tissues.Heat influence causes the growrth of temperature in tissues, promotes better blood circulation, as the result the tissue proccesses activate and the whole influence give uniflammatory action. Because ultrasound can be used selectively, it found its usage in such techniques as kidney stones or gall ball stones breaking. Radio waves –MRI imagining MRI imagining is based on the generating of strong magnetic fields and radio waves instead of x-rays that allows producing very clear images of all body parts. MRI is nearly the only one means of providing soft tissue clear and contrast examination. Basically MRI unit consists of a large cylindrical magnet, generators and receivers of radio waves and a computer, that allows getting an understandable image of the examination. The strong magnetic fields that are generated by the MRI unit prepare human’s body to emit radio waves. The magnetic field makes nuclei in atoms inside of the certain tissue of human body to line up after that the radio waves are directed at the nuclei. In the case when the frequency of the radio waves equals to the frequency of radio waves emitted by the atom, a condition of resonance takes place. The condition of resonance allows the atom to absorb th energy of the radio waves and lately when the wave stimulation will stop, the nuclei of atoms will aspire to the initial state (a well known law of inertia, from kinematics) and so they’ll return the weak radio signals and return to their initial condition. The strength and wavelength of the radio waves emitted the nuclei of atoms will be produced into a computer image, after the computer will make needed calculations and builds a model. As it’s obvious abnormal cells have different structure from those that are healthy and they’ll emit waves of different wavelengths from normal cells that will be identified clearly on the resulting image.
